Description Ivan Furnadjiev

With change https://git.eclipse.org/r/23320 we render all background properties as a single CSS property "background". ClientDocument has a hard-coded white background color set in Widget.appearances.js -> "client-document". As a result, the body background image set in rwt-index.html by the server is overwriten by the white background color of the ClientDocument. Do we really need this hard-coded white background of the ClientDocument?
The issue is reproducible with Workbench Demo.

Removing the hard-coded white background color from Widget.appearances.js -> "client-document" solves the problem in all browsers, but IE. If no background color is set, we render transparent color (rgba(0,0,0,0)) in IE, which again overwrites the image.
Note: Currently, background image is set as "background" *attribute* of the body tag, which is deprecated [1]. We should *not* use the attribute, but CSS style.
